I found that very helpful and effective in my understanding of the material.]]> 2021-11-15 22:13:03 UTC https://padlet.com/christinajwiley/ssczxogwr2bpq2m9/wish/1892455866 https://padlet.com/christinajwiley/ssczxogwr2bpq2m9/wish/1892457213 I would be interested in putting concepts like the ones we learned today (contact theory) in conversation with overarching issues like systems and institutions that are at play in human interaction]]> 2021-11-15 22:13:57 UTC https://padlet.com/christinajwiley/ssczxogwr2bpq2m9/wish/1892457213 Readings https://padlet.com/christinajwiley/ssczxogwr2bpq2m9/wish/1892457300 I wish we spent more time in recitation diving deep into the readings. There have been times in other classes where I find out during recitation that my understanding of something was only surface level, so sometimes I wonder what I am missing in the readings from this class.]]> 2021-11-15 22:14:03 UTC https://padlet.com/christinajwiley/ssczxogwr2bpq2m9/wish/1892457300 Importance of Perspective https://padlet.com/christinajwiley/ssczxogwr2bpq2m9/wish/1892457358 This course has taught me to have a larger perspective and to look for others opinions whether that be at school when someone offers criticism on something I do or just in my daily life. I won't always be correct and it is good to listen to others.]]> 2021-11-15 22:14:06 UTC https://padlet.com/christinajwiley/ssczxogwr2bpq2m9/wish/1892457358 Approach the course differently: https://padlet.com/christinajwiley/ssczxogwr2bpq2m9/wish/1892457461 If I were in charge of this course, I would make sure that it was taught by people who are actively engaged and have been engaged in social movements and civic action. The academic white male background of the professors stifles the potential for this class to be more impactful. Furthermore, it is also reflected in many of the readings we are doing that feel out of touch with the realities of 2021.]]> 2021-11-15 22:14:12 UTC https://padlet.com/christinajwiley/ssczxogwr2bpq2m9/wish/1892457461 https://padlet.com/christinajwiley/ssczxogwr2bpq2m9/wish/1892457762 More diverse authors for the readings]]> 2021-11-15 22:14:31 UTC https://padlet.com/christinajwiley/ssczxogwr2bpq2m9/wish/1892457762 https://padlet.com/christinajwiley/ssczxogwr2bpq2m9/wish/1892458242 I think a more diverse set of authors should be utilized in the coursework. It is great that we have had some, but the majority have been old white men. Newer readings could be introduced that cover similar topics but in a more intersectional way. ]]> 2021-11-15 22:14:59 UTC https://padlet.com/christinajwiley/ssczxogwr2bpq2m9/wish/1892458242 Readings https://padlet.com/christinajwiley/ssczxogwr2bpq2m9/wish/1892458764 I think many of the readings for this course could have been done without, especially the white men theory-based readings that didn't feel in touch with the realities of today. ]]> 2021-11-15 22:15:30 UTC https://padlet.com/christinajwiley/ssczxogwr2bpq2m9/wish/1892458764 https://padlet.com/christinajwiley/ssczxogwr2bpq2m9/wish/1892458776 I would be curious to see if there were ways we could engage in civic action on campus--so the group papers but with an application portion

I understand that it is hard to get through multiple readings in one class, but I wish we made more time for deeper discussions ]]> 2021-11-15 22:16:00 UTC https://padlet.com/christinajwiley/ssczxogwr2bpq2m9/wish/1892459284 https://padlet.com/christinajwiley/ssczxogwr2bpq2m9/wish/1892459486 I would rather recitation time be spent on receiving more instruction about readings.
